William Malloch shows how the performer’s and conductor’s attitudes toward Stravinsky’s music, including those of Stravinsky himself, have changed through the years. This program includes a discussion of these changes as well as musical examples of various versions each of the “Firebird”, “Petrouchka”, and “Le Sacre du Printemps (Rite of Spring)” recorded from the 1930s to the 1950s by a variety of orchestras and conductors.
